Remember the original Command & Conquer? Remember all the units, characters and themes from the game? Remember the gritty feeling of RTS Warfare? Remember Tiberium?

Well, that classic game from the early 90's that spawned over a dozen titles and revolutionized the RTS Gaming World has been reincarnated in the advanced 3D RTS World of the C&C Generals SAGE 3D Game Engine and looks better than ever!

All the classic units and themes are back, the original videos and music are all here too. As a special bonus, several of the GDI and Nod missions have been recreated in the best detail possible. More missions will become available once they are completed! However, you can dish it out in a skirmish or multiplayer game to your hearts content, as this Mod does work in both modes!

This Mod also explores the "special" units and features that the first Command & Conquer shown in the cinematics, but not in detail in-game. This includes the evolution of the subfactions spawned from GDI and Nod with experimental units and weapons that were being developed after the great battle where Kane was presumed dead.

SEE BELOW FOR FEATURES AND UPDATES:

VERSION 1.3 UPDATES:

This Mod uses never before seen visual effects with Pixel Shader 2.0 which includes Bloom Effects and detailed shadows, along with dynamic fog and sunlight effects.

New terrain textures along with new high quality shrubbery, waterfalls, and various other nature props create beautiful realistic natural scenes in the in-game maps.

New environmental hazards which include terrain obscuring fog, volcanoes with lava that can destroy your forces if they get too close, and deadly Tiberian based monsters such as Visceroids and Tiberium Ground Vein Monsters which can attack your forces randomly.

Most of the maps, models, model skins, and particle effects have been totally replaced or improved with stunning new details not seen in most C&C Generals Mods. This includes fully 3D animating wheels and treads on vehicle models, enhanced shadowing, enhanced sun/moon lighting effects, reflective water, dynamic fog and weather effects, new terrain, bump mapped textures, and much much more!

Audio details have been improved with new sounds and effects.

The in-game user interface has been updated with new textures and also includes new text fonts, team/player color selections, and mouse cursors.

Over 40 all new Skirmish/Multiplayer maps made by both our development team and by various members of the C&C Community! This brings the grand total to consist of over 120 Skirmish/Multiplayer maps!

The Basic Power Plant can now be directly upgraded to an Advanced Power Plant.

The Skirmish AI has been given a huge overhaul for all the playable sides with more dynamic tactics and responses which include ambushing and retreating.

EASY AI: Builds only a few defenses, builds small strike forces and rushes bases often with inadequate forces.

MEDIUM AI: Concentrates on heavy defenses and heavy weapon strikes while devising several small ambush and harassment teams in a more coordinated manner.

HARD AI: Starts out as mostly a turtler and builds a considerable amount of defenses around its base and around important areas of the map while assembling small strike teams to guard these areas, It also likes to utilize Air Power and Superweapons frequently (when available), and prefers to build up a large strike force that is designed to overrun an enemy base easily.

In order to resolve AI issues with the Conyard built Tiberium Refinery that disabled the Harvesters ability to automatically collect Tiberium and return it to the Refinery, the Harvesters will no longer be automatically spawned to harvest Tiberium. There is now a button available at the Refinery that you can click on to spawn the Harvester. NOTE: If you forget to deploy the harvester you may receive an EVA notification about it. Strangely enough, if you build a Tiberium Refinery using the MCV as a Dozer, the bug does not occur.

The Nod Black Hand has a new vehicle known simply as the "Microwave Tank". This experimental vehicle shoots a powerful microwave beam that cooks infantry and it can also disable vehicles and buildings while doing a small amount of damage to them.

GDI's Task Force Talon Special Forces Unit has a new base defense, the "Vulcan Turret". This is a Beta to the Component Tower Vulcan Cannon Turret well known in Tiberian Sun. It is useful for taking out infantry, light vehicles, and even aircraft.

Several other small graphical, coding, and scripting bugs from version 1.2 have been fixed, while several Skirmish/Multiplayer maps and the 18 Singleplayer missions have also been improved.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you have not figured out how the Conyard System works you will have to click on a button specifically labeled "Activate Conyard System" in the Conyard menu to activate it. The deployment buttons are simply labeled "Deploy Conyard" (found in the MCV build menu) and "Undeploy Conyard" (found in the Conyard build menu). Use caution however as you can "suicide" your forces in a Skirmish/Multiplayer game by clicking "Undeploy Conyard" with no other buildings constructed. Doing this will end the game in defeat for you! This is a scripting issue that could not be resolved!

This past year has indeed been quite an amazing one! I personally have learned a lot with using the tools at my disposal and seeing how far I can push an old game engine while also recreating an even older game! Thank you everyone in the C&C Community for your continued support of this project! This is your reward!

Just as I had promised everyone in a ModDB News Article last January: IN 2009 COMMAND & CONQUER TIBERIAN DAWN REDUX HAS RISEN AGAIN! IN THE NAME OF KANE! PEACE THROUGH POWER!

LOL, download failed, retrying again... for some reason, when i enter zero hour skirmish mode (patched to 1.04 with original game.dat; me gold USA, so no mod installed... yet ;) ) my units and buildings explode/selfdestroy for no reason after a couple of seconds of gameplay time... gonna search for this over google later...

Open the starter shortcut and press enter twice and then it will display a menu. This is where you can turn the mod and worldbuilder on or off and adjust the new graphic effects. When you see EVA CONSOLE PROGRAM OPTIONS it is working and you are on the right track. Just follow the on screen instructions from there. Such as playing the Mod... press "1" and press enter and follow the instructions for setting your LOD settings. The Mod will then activate!

damnit I have downloaded this and followed all instructions but i keep getting message saying that the GENERAL.EXE cannot be found stopping me from playing. if u could help would b great
P.S i have uninstalled and reinstalled bothe generals and zero hour and do not have a corrupt version.

So I installed everything to the correct folder but when I try to start it I get a message in the Console thing saying "The system cannot find the file specified." and if I keep going and try to start the mod I get the splash screen and then it crashes to the desk top saying I have encountered a serious error. Please help

Check the comments above: are you certain it is installed in the same directory as Zero Hour (because, by default, it offers to install in the The First Decade folder... if you just have zero hour installed from the old cds... then you need to specify correct folder (Zero Hour one that is...) Take care and best of good luck.

I'm positive that it was installed into the correct directory, I made sure that it went into the Zero Hour installation directory. I'm not getting the GENERAL.EXE cannot be found error, it just says "The system cannot find the file specified." after the start up EVA Database Console thing has started. I'm using windows Vista if that makes any difference.

I see... if you installed in default folder, on vista/win7 there are Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders (most of stuff gets installed into Program Files (x86) )... then again, from what I can understand, you made sure it is installed in the right place and, judging by the message, it is not generals.exe that is missing... Sounds to me that directx reinstall is in order... Filehippo.com I hope this will help.

Great mod by the way, but i'm having a problem that the starting background movie starts to shutter/ go black and then back to video. And when I start to play the game, a few seconds into it the screen goes black but if I scroll to a different place it would go back to normal. But if I scroll back to that original place it would go back screened. I have everything updated, and this never happened with Zero Hour.

But this doesnt help me. I downloaded the Version 1.2 without a problem
( I looked I havend any Downloadblockers and my Firewall is open too)so
what can be the reason the download start and after 20 % it end and when i want to run the exe its says "file contains inviled data"

Downloading right now. As i can see from screens - this is awesome. I remember old days, original C&C, "I'm Seth.Just Seth" and many other things. Good luck with Tiberium Sun Redux, this is gonna be the best mod ever!
